💿 Automatic Ripping Machine

An automated, hands-free media extraction tool for Windows

Features

• Automatic CD Detection: Monitors CD drives continuously and detects when a CD is inserted.
• Media Copying: Automatically copies standard photos (JPG, PNG, etc.) and videos (MP4, MKV, etc.).
• Media Conversion: Uses ffmpeg to convert archaic video formats and Pillow to convert archaic photo formats to modern formats.
• Auto Eject: Opens the CD tray automatically after processing is complete so you can insert the next one.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• FFmpeg: Must be installed and accessible in the system PATH for video conversion.
• Windows OS (uses wmi and win32 libraries).

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
2. Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the script and provide an output directory where the ripped media should be saved:

python main.py --output "C:\path\to\output\directory"

The script will remain running in the background and wait for CDs to be inserted.
